The Osun State Police Command has arrested a 35-year-old
vulcaniser, Ademola Simiyu, of Ile Olode in Ikoyi for allegedly defiling his
11-year-old daughter.
Simiyu, a father of three, allegedly committed the act
on Wednesday, October 23, when he woke up the girl at about 12 midnight while
she was sleeping with her siblings and forcefully had carnal knowledge of her.
The suspect was said to have stifled the cries of his
daughter by covering her mouth with his palm. The girl reportedly started
bleeding heavily but the father refused to take her to the hospital, out of
fear of questions that could be raised concerning the bleeding.
